Asked to name the most jaw dropping aspects of the 21st century, men and women ignored traditional structures and plumped for gadgets that made life easier

Never mind the spectacular Shard or iconic Angel of the North, Britons reckon the iPhone, Sat Nav and Holly Willoughby’s boobs
are the modern wonders of the world.

Asked to name the seven most jaw dropping aspects of the 21st century, men and women plumped for gadgets that made life easier.

But the male-female split saw men put TV star Holly’s cleavage and model Kelly Brook’s curvy figure in their top seven breathtakers while women chose hair straighteners and chocolate.

The survey by car maker Kia to update the classic Seven Wonders of the World which include the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, found we are much more down to earth over what has the X Factor today.

Men thought Sky+, 3D movies and the Xbox deserved to be amongst the finest innovations of the modern world while women put Facebook, parking sensors and contactless payment on their list.

No works of art, feats of engineering or pioneering inventions featured as Brits plumped for everyday pleasures like a cold pint of lager and a cup of tea as the best thing since The Lighthouse of Alexandria was completed in 247 BC.

Update: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

The poll of 2,000 adults found Britain’s new Seven Wonders of the World were based on products that were useful in everyday life or made Brits feel happy.
